"Hi, this is Mara Keith-Hunter for Expert Village. Today we would be talking about how to groom a horse. So the next thing that we would do is brush out the tail. You would notice that I'm using a comb instead of a brush so we can be careful and not pull out hairs. You want to begin with taking the bottom and you can use your leg just combing out the ends of the tail. That is going to make it look easier as you go comb the rest. The way that I like to do it to be careful and once again not pull out extra hair is you are going to take the entire thing. Pulling it away so you are not standing right behind the horse. Then just piece by piece we are going to take out of the bunch and we would just start to comb that single piece. Then you can keep adding to that piece working from the bottom up. But you that you don't tare hair out and we would add another piece. Work our way up and then add another piece and you work in that order until the entire tail is done. "
